2012 Cadillac CTS

By

It's hard to believe that the second-generation CTS is already five years old, but like a fine wine it seems to be getting better with age. Three body styles are available -- sedan, coupe, and wagon -- and all can be had in regular CTS form or in ludicrous but intoxicating CTS-V trim. There are two V-6 engines available: a 3.0-liter unit in the sedan and wagon and a highly praised 3.6-liter V-6 available with all three body styles. The 3.6-liter can be found throughout GM's vehicle lineup, and rightfully so -- its power delivery is smooth and linear and it returns good fuel economy. For those who have a need for speed, look to the CTS-V. Using a modified version of the 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 in the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Brembo brakes, nineteen-inch forged aluminum wheels, and adjustable magnetic dampers, it is one of the best cars to come out of Detroit. The tailpipes of the CTS-V -- large, chrome, and center-mounted on the V coupe -- emit a guttural, growling exhaust note that will let passersby know that this is not your father's Cadillac. In any form, the CTS is a credible player in the sport luxury market, thanks to its crisp, distinct design and a level of quality, fit, and finish rarely seen from a domestic automaker. Supple french-stitched leather, soft LED lighting, and intuitive controls live in harmony in the well-crafted cabin. The CTS may not be quite as sharp as its German competition, but the charismatic offering from Cadillac is well worth considering.

Alicia Boler-Davis is quick to tell this story: a new Cadillac XTS buyer, who enjoyed listening to audiobooks, found that the Cadillac User Experience (CUE) system muted--but didn't pause--the audio while she took a phone call via Bluetooth, which left her paragraphs or even chapters ahead when she finally hung up. She placed a call to GM's Infotainment Call Center and made a complaint. The message quickly made it to CUE engineers, who coded a fix, and the company will roll the changes out to current CUE-equipped cars in the near future.

With the XTS and ATS sedans done and on sale, Cadillac's next big project is the upcoming third-generation CTS sedan, and it's no small task. But General Motors design chief Ed Welburn says that Cadillac has given its best-selling sedan a new look that promises to be both "more sophisticated" and "more premium."

Cadillac is hard at work developing the new 2014 CTS, and that means engineers are putting the car through its paces at one of the world's most famous and grueling courses -- Germany's Nürburgring. Our spy shooter managed to snap these photos of the new Cadillac sports sedan undergoing some hard testing laps.

Having rolled out the ATS sports sedan and the XTS luxury sedan, engineers now appear to have turned their attention to the next-generation Cadillac CTS, which we expect should debut in for 2014. As seen in these spy photos, the next Cadillac CTS will probably be a bit longer and wider than the current model.

The CTS is getting a bit long in the tooth in terms of interior design. Although it represented a breakthrough for General Motors back in 2007, the cabin is now a step behind what's in less expensive Buicks, never mind its toughest luxury competitors. Large swathes of silver-painted plastic trim don't quite live up to the car's German-fighting potential, and the tough, hard-grained leather lacks the subtlety of that found in similarly priced BMWs and Jaguars. Oh yes, Jaguars -- did you note the $55,060 price tag on this "Premium Collection" test car? The in-car technology has the features you'd expect - Bluetooth, iPod integration, and a clear touch screen - but lacks a cohesive system to make it all user-friendly. Cadillac has introduced just such as system on the new XTS sedan, but it will not migrate to the CTS until its next redesign.
